Plasticizers are polymer material additives widely used in industrial production, also known as plasticizers. Any substance added to polymer materials that can increase the plasticity of the polymer is called a plasticizer. The use of plasticizers can improve the performance of polymer materials, reduce production costs, and increase production efficiency. It is an important type of chemical product additive widely used as an additive in materials such as plastic products, concrete, plaster, cement, gypsum, cosmetics, and cleaning agents. Its main function is to weaken the secondary bonds between resin molecules, increase the mobility of resin molecular bonds, reduce the crystallinity of resin molecules, increase the plasticity of resin molecules, enhance their flexibility, make them easy to process, and can be legally used for industrial purposes. It is widely present in food packaging, cosmetics, medical equipment, and environmental water bodies. For example, cling film, food packaging, toys, etc.

Do all plastic products have plasticizers?
Not all plastic products contain plasticizers. Common plastic products in daily life, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyester, nylon, polyurethane, ABS, etc., do not require the addition of plasticizers in the production process and are not related to "plasticizers".
1. The purpose of adding plasticizers is to make plastics softer and easier to process. Plasticizers are mainly used in PVC plastics and are not found in other plastics. They are commonly used in soft PVC and not in hard PVC. PVC, also known as polyvinyl chloride plastic, is currently the most widely used plastic material.
2. There are dozens of plasticizers, the most powerful of which are ortho benzene plasticizers. There are many types of plasticizers, and the most commonly used is DEHP, also known as DOP. Its full name is 2-ethylhexyl phthalate, commonly known as dioctyl ester, which is also the most commonly used plasticizer.
3. Most of the plastics we usually come into contact with are not PVC, but commonly PP, PE, PC, ABS, etc. They do not contain plasticizers because they do not need to be added and cannot be added;
4. Some soft PVC products that people come into contact with in daily life, such as wires, children's inflatable toys (swimming rings, inflatable pads, etc.), transparent plastic bags used for packaging blankets and blankets, transparent plastic soft door curtains, thick plastic table mats called soft glass, etc., mostly contain phthalates, but ordinary people have skin contact and the amount is very small, so there is no need to worry.
5. As long as it is soft PVC, it must contain plasticizers, but plasticizers are definitely not harmful to the human body. Disposable infusion tubes, blood transfusion tubes, some infusion bags, and blood transfusion bags used in hospitals are all made of soft PVC.
